Reducing The Risks With DuPont™ Chemical Protective Clothing

DuPont™ developed chemical protective clothing to help safeguard men and women from chemical hazards that can and can’t be seen, such as dangerous vapors, liquids, and particles.

Whether the job is performing asbestos abatement, applying insulation, or handling industrial chemicals, DuPont™ understands the risks. That’s why we’ve developed chemical protective clothing engineered from Tyvek® and Tychem®. They’re made to help reduce worker chemical exposure while performing their jobs. Plus, we rigorously test all our Tyvek® and Tychem® fabrics to eliminate “what ifs.” And we continue to innovate by bringing cutting-edge solutions like SafeSPEC™ an online tool that helps safety managers make the best decisions for selecting apparel. It’s just another way we’re helping hazardous work become less hazardous to the worker. Visit www.safespec.dupont.com today.

DuPont™ Tyvek® Protective Apparel for Industrial Workers

Workers who deal with hazardous materials need the utmost confidence in their protective apparel. Tyvek® protective apparel is engineered for protection, durability and comfort.

Somebody has to do the dirty work. And those who do it will want the inherent barrier protection that DuPont™ Tyvek® protective apparel offers. Our Tyvek® protective apparel helps protect your workers against small size hazardous particles. That includes particles such as lead, asbestos, and mold. Protection is built into the fabric itself; there are no films or laminates to abrade or wear away. And for a better fit, Tyvek® garments with comfort fit design have been engineered for enhanced worker range of motion and durability in use. So whether performing asbestos abatement or installing insulation, we want to help you protect your workers.

Every day, thousands of industrial workers put their trust in our garments, so as a normal business practice, at DuPont™ we make sure that Tychem® chemical suits go through rigorous testing. Tychem® fabrics have been tested by third party labs for permeation against hundreds of chemicals. The result is chemical protection available against hundreds of toxic liquids and vapors from sarin to chlorine gas. In fact, as a company, we helped improve the safety standards for the HAZMAT category. Your workers can feel confident that wearing Tychem® chemical suits can help them do their job at hand.

DuPont™ ProShield® – Affordable Protection Everyday Jobs

Protecting you against non-hazardous light liquid splashes and dry particulates, DuPont™ ProShield® gives a suitable level of protection at the right price.

These limited-use garments have been optimized for comfort, softness, and breathability. Affordable and practical, ProShield® garments can protect against non-hazardous dry particles and light liquid splash applications typically found in industrial situations.
